Brio Tuscan Grille

This place has no relationship to authentic Italian food. It is just an Americanized version of what we perceive to be Italian food.
The only strength to this place is the atmosphere which is somewhat luxurious (which I personally do not care about).
When I went there, the place was not busy, yet it took them anywhere between 5 to 10 minutes to get my friend and I seated. We ordered salad, soup, and pasta. The food was just alright (I would not eat it again though). The place is pricey for the type of food you are getting and for the amount of food.

This is one of our favorite spots for special occasions. The ambiance is very soothing and the staff will make you feel very special. We’ve found the food to always be delicious no matter what we order. Appetizers, entrees, drinks and dessert for two will run $ 100 or less. Don’t forget the tip!

I’m giving this place 1 star because the food was amazing. While waiting 45 mins to be sat. We sat at our table for at least 10 mins before a server came & taken our drink order. I ordered a drink & it took 22 mins too come back. Another server then came over & took our order & hardly ever checked up on us. Then while we were sitting their with our, 3 year old & 7 year old. We waited almost 40 mins for our food. Not a good experience tonight.

Ordered my usual: Caesar salad with grilled tenderloin. Romaine nicely coated and the steak, ordered medium, was pull apart perfect. Lobster bisque, best in town. Now served in a better accessible bowl. Wiped clean with the home made bread. Tiramisu fluffy light great with rich strong black joe. Another great dining experience!

We went here for there brunch. The east side is limited on there selection of brunch venues. We were excited when Unilocal pulled this up. However, We were a very disappointed.
The brunch menu is very limited with only 7 breakfast options, and really just a scaled down version of their regular menu. Service was very slow, our drinks came out far after our appetizers were gone, and our order had not even been taken at that point. I was shocked when the manager came over and asked «how it was going «and we told her about our experience to that point and nothing got better.
When the food finally arrived it was cold and really and just very bland and nothing special at all.

I don’t get all the hype. The vegetables in my pasta were not fresh, matter of fact they were still frozen. Really well put together looks really nice but falls short for me. Bland food no taste, the only difference between this place and the Olive Garden is about $ 20.

We went here last night for the first time.
My husband got the pasta Alla vodka which was really good but I felt like the portion was a little small for the price. I got the chicken under the brick and that was delicious! The roasted vegetables and the mashed potatoes were also really good. Usually mashed potatoes aren’t my first choice for a side but I would definitely get those again.
We finished off our meal with the chocolate lava cake. This is something I would highly recommend trying! The ice cream on top was perfect with the wariness and gooeyness of the chocolate cake.
I restaurant was nice inside and the service was really good too. I would come back here again.

The food was excellent and well prepared. We had the kale Caesar salad with chicken and the ‘grilled chicken under the brick’, both of which were excellent. The kale is marinated overnight to make it more palatable, and this definitely added to the appeal of this dish. The brick chicken was well-​prepared and tasty, with just enough seasoning and oil to make it interesting. Nice atmosphere (would not call it intimate, just nice) and the staff was nicely attentive and friendly.

Great food however service was painfully slow and drink refills were non existent most of the night.

I went there last night to take a friend out for dinner and I’ve heard so many positive things about Brio — I was looking forward to the experience.
The best part of the meal was the appetizers — the Calamari was delicious, as well as the Garlic/​Spinach dip.
I ordered the pesto pasta which I was advised was better than other choices I had — being told it was «flavorful.» Not really sure what that meant, but once I got it, I realized that meant salty. I was disappointed in the food itself in that that was a dish I could’ve very well made at home — just seemed thrown together.
My friend ordered a chicken limon — which seemed to be a version of a chicken lemon picatta. There was NOTHING lemon-​y about the entire dish. In fact, when it was first brought out, we both tasted it and it basically tasted like a chicken with a bland gravy on the top.
Our server was very pleasant and saw that my friend didn’t enjoy her meal and offered to re-​make it … and it came out fresh but this time with capers… which helped the flavor a tad, but still… was the same bland dish just capers added on top.
Overall, I was disappointed — for how much money each dish is — I could get better Italian food at other locations. I’m sad to admit this, but I’ve had more «flavorful» dishes at Olive Garden. This is defnitely not a place I will run back to anytime soon.

The atmosphere is very nice here, especially when you have the option to sit outside, however… my fiancé and I came here for apps and drinks after our final wedding appointment down the road and we just weren’t blown away by any of choices. Especially for $ 50 for just the 2 of us! The calamari was basically all breading and very deep fried. The sauces had very little flavor and there were no peppers on our plate (maybe the chef forgot?). The Sausage, Pepperoni & Ricotta Flatbread was just ok. I added some salt and it tasted a little better. I also ordered this Strawberry Smash drink and it was eh. Really sweet at the bottom and all watery up top. I thought maybe you were supposed to stir it, but then it just tasted like water. At least it was refreshing on a hot summer day! I don’t think we will rush back here anytime soon. There are a few other great choices at the Creek that we would be happy to go back to.

This was my first time there. The only thing impressive to me was the décor. It was nicely decorated.
Started with the spinach artichoke dip which was average. It was not a large portion at all. For 5 people we each had a tablespoon of dip. Then I had a side ceasar which was a good portion. Wasn’t very creamy and was $ 4.
My main dish is where I was really disappointed. I had the chicken limono which is chicken picatta. It came with mashed potatoes instead of pasta which is not the usual pairing for the dish. The vegetables had some salty dressing on them. I had two full sized chicken breasts that were dipped in egg. Usually chicken is dipped in egg then breading. There was no breading just egg. It was not good. I didn’t eat it.
I don’t have a strong desire to go back but, I might try it again.

We were here as a large party for a birthday so we had a private room. Atmosphere was classy. I had the salmon with veggies and sweet potato. It was perfectly cooked! They are very generous with the bread baskets so me sure to leave room for the main course!
Great place to go if you are looking for something on the fancier side.

Loved the Happy Hour here. Many interesting appetizers to choose from!
Great key lime mojito. I’d like to see more of a draft beer selection though.

Second time at this location. The first was when it first opened.
We went during lunch and sat on the patio which was nice.
We were greeted promptly. I ordered the spinach artichoke appetizer which was just okay. It was made fresh in house it tasted frozen. I wouldn’t order it again.
I got the pesto chicken pasta which was a good portion and under 600 calories which I could only eat half of it. It was a little on the oily side unfortunately.
$ 7 rum and coke also which is outrageous.
I would try this place again but during dinner.

Love dining outside in the fresh air. The lobster bisque is always outstanding, and the wedge salad was fresh and a delight!

A beautiful atmosphere. It is very inviting and clean looking. They have the best Happy Hour I have found so far. Great prices and wonderful food to choose from.
Becareful how many appetizers you order bcause they are large portions. $ 4 wine at happy hour. I find it important that a bar has good glasses. I don’t like getting wine in a jar or glass. They have very nice clean wine glasses. They also have fun high tops in the bar and a great patio.
I really enjoy going to Brio and will go back and bring my firends with me.

We tried to get a 7pm reservation at Brio, but the manager stated there was a wedding party and the earliest we could dine was at 8:15pm. We arrived to a half full restaurant and ordered some drinks. Then a while later the waiter came by to take the order for only appetizers. The bruchetta sampler was the way to go.
We finally were able to order our dinner after 9pm and were served at 9:50pm.
Overall, our servers were very attentive and quite delightful. The food took forever to arrive and was quite expensive. My small plate of meatless pasta was $ 18 and was just ok.
In the end, I was with good friends and it was nice to spend quality time with them. I’m not sure if I would choose to return here. If I do, I’m ordering the wedge salad.

I’d come back.
Yesterday we had some apps and drinks at the bar.
Beef Carpaccio was a massive proportion. We didn’t know how big it was! Definitely enough to share haha. My wife didn’t care much for the sauce that was all over it.
The Calamari was just okay, it’s hard to mess up, but I’ve rarely had a calamari that was memorable. Comes with a couple different dipping sauces. Good size for the price as well.
I had a lot of the Spiniach and Roasted Garlic dip. Comes with plenty of toasted flat bread.
We had a few of the Basil Gimlets with Hendricks. Those were pretty tasty but I will say between the two bartenders the same drinks tasted very different — that is a pet peeve of mine.

It’s not Italian, it’s TUSCAN! Let Brio take you to the region of Tuscany with their delicious offerings of antipasti, pasta, meats, great wine selection, sweet desserts, and don’t forget about their AMAZING happy hour.
They are very accomodating for events, many times I have brought in a cake for a birthday or graduation and they will bring it out for dessert. Their happy hour has $ 3.95 select appetizers & $ 5 martinis, I suggest calling for details on the time :)
I can tell the chefs take pride in their food execution by the flavor and excellent sauce placement on the food. Each server demonstrates outstanding customer service. Not too much else to say considering this is a chain restaurant but I am never disappointed!
